Artificial intelligence algorithms need big quantities of data. The methods used to obtain this data have raised concerns about privacy, surveillance and copyright.

AI-powered devices and services, such as virtual assistants and IoT items, continuously collect individual details, raising concerns about intrusive information event and unapproved gain access to by third parties. The loss of privacy is additional intensified by AI's capability to process and integrate huge amounts of information, possibly resulting in a surveillance society where specific activities are continuously kept an eye on and analyzed without appropriate safeguards or transparency.

Sensitive user information collected may consist of online activity records, geolocation data, video, or audio. [204] For example, in order to develop speech acknowledgment algorithms, Amazon has actually taped countless private discussions and permitted short-term workers to listen to and transcribe some of them. [205] Opinions about this prevalent surveillance range from those who see it as a needed evil to those for whom it is plainly dishonest and a violation of the right to privacy. [206]
AI developers argue that this is the only way to provide valuable applications and have established a number of strategies that attempt to maintain privacy while still obtaining the information, such as data aggregation, de-identification and differential personal privacy. [207] Since 2016, some personal privacy experts, such as Cynthia Dwork, have actually begun to view personal privacy in regards to fairness. Brian Christian composed that professionals have pivoted "from the question of 'what they know' to the question of 'what they're doing with it'." [208]
Generative AI is often trained on unlicensed copyrighted works, consisting of in domains such as images or computer code
